1. How nginx define a free worker
"ngx_accept_disabled = ngx_cycle->connection_n / 8 -
ngx_cycle->free_connection_n;"
so when the number of free connections is more than the value of
"worker_connections" directive, the worker is free.
2. Will it be doing round robin?
No, it is not RR.
In fact, nginx use the tecnology called "accept mutax", so only one worker
is listening on the port, others are waiting.
you can refer to "ngx_process_events_and_timers()" for more information.
